I cant believe that i am 10lbs from my DR Goal (which he wants me to hit by 9mos) My personal goal is to be at 143.... I am in complete shock that just 6 1/2 months ago i was 90lbs heavier - WHAT??? I always thought of myself as a happy person... I had no idea how unhappy i was... This has completely CHANGED MY LIFE!!! Dont anyone PINCH ME IF I AM DREAMING... I canNOT believe the scale said 163!!!!

Super congrats!!! Any celebration plans for when you meet your personal goal?

I know what you mean about not realizing the condition you were in until you were out of it. So glad to hear you're enjoying the new life and the new you.

Yay!!! That is so awesome!!! I can't wait! I am 3 1/2 weeks out! So inspiring to me !!

You are providing inspiration for me!!! Congratulations and continued success to you!

WooHoo, way to go!!!

Thank you!!! I think i am still in shock...

@Ava324 - Thats a good question... i think about it, but have no idea...Maybe some new clothes & new shoes... and some new undies since these are falling off... LOL

however I told my hubby, once i hit my goal & stay there for one year, i want to get a boob lift... so maybe that will be my reward... just will have to wait a year for it. LOL

Congrats on your success!

Wow! That is terrific! Super job.

Awesome! I like reading these posts because I'm just starting and I truly can't imagine what it must feel like to accomplish a 90 lb weight loss...thanks for putting it into words! Beth

I can't wait to be on that side of the spectrum. Still a couple more weeks before I get sleeved. Congrats! You are doing amazing!!

Definitely treat yourself to some shopping. Shopping feels so good now. Like cross-addiction good. I go to Goodwill a couple times a month so I have more temp wardrobe options. I JUST threw out the last of my 26/28 panties yesterday. They'd become very loose shorts. lol! I still haven't figured out these new underwear sizes. Mine had come strictly from Cacique for years.

@Ava324 LOL - i hear you! i have size 8... but i am thinking i might be a 6 in the panties hahaha... (YIKES!)

you are doing awesome! I will be 6 months out in a few days and have only lost 56 lbs. I have another 18lbs to go to my first goal and if I ever make it to there I may try another 10. What is your secret I am in a little bit of a stall and I just want it to keep moving. I feel like I have been a slower loser anyway but any advice would be great. What are your typical meals like now?

Great job! Have you taken a recent picture and put it next to your before pic? How inspiring you are! I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow so I took my before photos tonight. I can't wait to compare in 3 months.

@acampbell1318 - You will get there!!! I try not to stress out about the stalls.. I just came out of a really long stall.. it is what it is... I look at it this way, i am down X amout of weight and that is better then where i started from... I know in time i will lose if i keep doing what my dr & nut set up for me. To be honest, i wish i was a little bit of a slower loser, i am starting to see the effects on my skin from losing so fast...

I try to eat mostly whole foods (very little processed - just a handfull of items and thats it)

Every morning: (and yes i mean every morning) I have an egg white with a slice of Am cheese. (sometimes i have 2 egg whites, but most times i cant eat all of it) some times i have 1/2 of a whole grain english muffin and one egg white w/chz.. (only once or twice a week)

Mid morning: i will have one of the following - half apple, protein shake, nuts, fruit, rolled up turkey breast with cheese or greek yogurt.

Lunch: one of the following: steak, shrimp, chicken and if i have room, maybe a small spring salad (we are talking 1/2 cup for all of this) or some kind of raw veggie (but only like one or two bites then im full) - some times its chicken salad (very little light mayo) with few slices of cheese, and maybe 1/2 apple or 4 triscuits...

Mid afternoon: (sometimes i skip this cause i am not hungry, but if i am it might be the rest of my lunch or one of the Snacks already listed above)

Dinner: some kind of meat/fish... (normally its a long the lines of lunch) If i go out to eat, i have left overs for lunch & dinner for a few days...

Snack: (not always but maybe 2 times a week - some frozen yogurt (about 1/8 - 1/4cup) really its just a taste...

I stay away from all pork products, and most processed foods - my new tummy just doesnt like it. I dont really care for ground meats anymore either... its too heavy for me.

I only drink Water, skim milk, Protein shakes, once in a while i will have unsweeten Tea or G2 low cal. (but not too often) - also i dont drink but maybe 2-3 oz of wine MAYBE once or twice a month... my new tummy just doesnt like it... but my brain does LOL

I also walk every day... Some days i try to add running/jogging into it. I just started riding my bike again...

I pretty much do the same thing everyday, becuase its what works for me... Dont worry you WILL get there!!!

I have posted some pictures... but i will see if i can get a picture taken today and post it - Thanks everyone - i love this site, the support is awesome... sometimes it just what we need!!! Happy Tuesday!

Thanks for the advice!!
